WORLD PRODUCTION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, MAIN COMMODITIES, 24. More than half of all land (54 percent) in Asia is agricultural land, compared with 45 percent in Oceania, 37 percent in Africa, 29 percent in the Americas and 21 percent in Europe. The world average dietary energy supply (DES), measured as calories per capita per day, has been increasing steadily to 2 950 kcal per person per day over the period from 2018 to 2020, up 9 percent compared with 2000 to 2002 (see FIGURE 50 and TABLE 40). 2012 Figura 35: Onde pretende trabalhar, pressupondo remunerao e benefcios iguais? On the other hand, irrigated agriculture competes with other uses of the water resources available in countries. Excludes tree stands in agricultural production systems, such as fruit-tree plantations (permanent crops), oil palm plantations, rubber and Christmas trees (permanent crops) and agroforestry systems when crops are grown under tree cover. Drained organic soils were responsible for a constant 11 to 12 percent share of farm-gate emissions over the 20002019 period, while methane released from the cultivation of rice paddies accounted for 9 to 10 percent. World production of main meat items, main producers (2019), 30. While the world average fluctuated between 1.4 percent and 3.3 percent between January 2015 and the beginning of 2019, it then increased steadily to peak at 7 percent in April 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic started to affect the world economy.

The share of agricultural water withdrawals in total withdrawals is an indication of the relative weight of agricultural water uses compared to the industrial and municipal ones. Sum of areas under Agriculture area certified organic and Agriculture area in conversion to organic. Agriculture area certified organic is the land area exclusively dedicated to organic agriculture and managed by applying organic agriculture methods. Similar to the PoU, food insecurity experienced a steep increase between 2019 and 2020 equal to that of the previous five years combined. Food is comprised of the commodities in the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) sections 0 (food and live animals), 1 (beverages and tobacco), and 4 (animal and vegetable oils and fats) and SITC division 22 (oil seeds, oil nuts and oil kernels). The use of palm oil for biodiesel explains most of this spectacular growth.13 The other main vegetable oils are rapeseed oil, accounting for 12 percent of global vegetable oil production in 2018, and sunflower oil, which accounted for 9 percent of total vegetable oil production in 2018, down from 11 percent in 2000. Correct exchange rate, in turn, should equalize the price levels in two countries. Soil nitrogen budget by component and region, 65.

The global production of raw sugar reached 182 million tonnes in 2017, up 37 percent compared with 2000, or 49 million tonnes (see FIGURE 25 and TABLE 20). Global production of roundwood rose from 3.5 billion m3 in 2000 to around 4 billion m3 in 2019, which represents a 14 percent increase over the period (see FIGURE 33). Consumer price inflation rates for food (percent), 37. Main traded cereals, top importers and exporters (quantities, 2019), 41. The cut-off date for the data is 1 October 2021. Wood pulp is fibrous material prepared from pulpwood, wood chips, particles or residues by a mechanical and/or chemical process for further manufacture into paper, paperboard, fibreboard or other cellulose products. The value added is the net output of a sector after adding up the value of all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. Owner: UNICEF/WHO/The World Bank: Joint child malnutrition estimates. The market concentration of meat production is not as strong as for primary crops and vegetable oils, even though the top three producers accounted for 56 percent of world pig meat production and slightly more than 40 percent of global chicken and cattle meat production (see FIGURE 27 and TABLE 21). Differences are statistically significant.18. The figures are based on GDP (Nominal) and sector composition ratios provided by the CIA World Fact Book.

Between 2000 and 2019, roughly two-thirds of agricultural land were used for permanent meadows and pastures (3.2 billion ha in 2019), which declined by 6 percent (0.19 billion ha). Africa experienced the highest inflation rate in food prices for most of the period, reaching a peak at 18.4 percent in April 2017. It showed several fluctuations during the overall period with higher prices experienced in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2014, from 2016 to early 2019 and in early 2021 (see FIGURE 44). The BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height, or the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres. China and India accounts for 19.49 and 7.39 percent of total global agricultural output. 2021. Industry includes mining, manufacturing, energy Employment in agriculture, forestry and fishing (2019), 4. The probability to be food insecure is estimated using the one-parameter logistic Item Response Theory model (the Rasch model) and thresholds for classification are made cross-country comparable by calibrating the metrics obtained in each country against the FIES global reference scale, maintained by FAO. A small subset of indicators used in Part 3 is based on the aggregation rules defined in The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021 report (https://doi.org/10.4060/cb4474en). This corresponds to an increase of 31 kg/ha compared with 2000. Source: IMF, UNSD, OECD and national statistics websites. In Africa, the value added more than doubled over the period, increasing from USD 170 billion to USD 404 billion. In cases where a country experiences considerable distortion in the conversion rates, the United Nations Statistics Division uses price-adjusted rates of exchange (PARE) as an alternative to the exchange rates reported by the IMF or UN operational rates of exchange. 23 FAO & UN-Water.

Dietary energy supply by commodity group, 2018 (kcal per capita per day), 43. Collects and disseminates annual national accounts statistics from countries and provides substantive service to the Committee on Contributions of the Fifth Committee of the United Nations on technical aspects of the elements of scale methodology for assessing the contributions to the United Nations by Member States. Data are expressed in live weight equivalent. The Americas and Europe present an increase of 52 percent and 19 percent respectively in the 20002019 period, while Oceania increased its agricultural value added by just 9 percent, having seen it decline since 2016. In recent years, the average dietary supply adequacy in Africa remained unchanged or decreased because of the declining dietary energy supply in the region (see FIGURE 50). As one of the official Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity provides additional information on people who do not have regular access to nutritious and sufficient food, even if they are not necessarily suffering from hunger. Water stress, defined as the share of freshwater withdrawal in available freshwater resources, after taking into account environmental water requirements, affects predominantly Western and Central Asia as well as Northern Africa (see FIGURE 63 and TABLE 52). the same crop is sown or planted more than once in the same field during the year), the area is counted as many times as harvested. The UNOPs are conversion rates that are applied in official transactions of the United Nations with these countries. excluding bark).

Permanent meadows and pastures on which trees and shrubs are grown should be recorded under this heading only if the growing of forage crops is the most important use of the area. Many factors can affect producer prices, including favourable or poor harvests compared to the previous year, production costs, market structure, subsidy schemes and external factors as is the case, for instance, of economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2018. Note: For VAB countries, gross value added at factor cost is used as the denominator. Among the most cereals import-dependent countries in the period from 2016 to 2018, the majority are small island developing states20 and countries in the Near East, where the natural conditions are not favourable to cereals production (see FIGURE 51 and TABLE 41). The National Accounts Section of the United Nations Statistics Division: Contributes to the international coordinated development and updating of the System of National Accounts (SNA). Most primary crops can be consumed unprocessed, but two crop groups in particular require processing for the production of commodities used both as food and fuel: oil crops and sugar crops. Specifically, the cereal imports dependency ratio tells how much of the available domestic food supply of cereals has been imported and how much comes from the countrys own production. Consumer prices for food increased unevenly across regions between 2015 and 2021 (see FIGURE 46 and TABLE 36). This represents an increase of USD 1.5 trillion compared with 2000. For countries whose exchange rates are not reported by the IMF, the annual average of United Nations operational rates of exchange (UNOPs) is applied. The assessment is conducted using data collected with the FIES or a compatible experience-based food security measurement questionnaire (such as the HFSSM). World production of vegetable oils, main commodities, B1. [cited September 2021]. The higher the value of the indicator, the higher the dependence. The share of value added from agriculture, forestry and fishing fell between 2000 and 2019 in all regions except Africa: from 1.8 percent in 2000 to 1.6 percent in 2019 in Europe, from 10.3 percent to 7.1 percent in Asia, and from 3.9 percent to 2.6 percent in Oceania (it remained virtually unchanged in the Americas at 1.8 percent). It is an aggregate comprising wood fuel, including wood for charcoal and industrial roundwood (wood in the rough). Nitrogen is the dominant nutrient, accounting for at least 60 percent of fertilizer use in Europe (64 percent), Africa (61 percent) and Asia (60 percent), and around half of the total in Oceania (51 percent) and the Americas (49 percent).

The Office of Chief Statistician (OCS) is responsible for the overall coordination and governance of FAOs statistical work, both at headquarters and in FAOs Regional and Country Offices. If the crop under consideration is harvested more than once during the year as a consequence of successive cropping (i.e. The main industrial roundwood producers are all countries with a large forest area and an established logging industry. The indices for vegetable oils and sugar show great volatility since the beginning of 2018, with a sharp drop during the first months of 2020 (as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted international food markets) followed by a doubling over the following 16 months. Includes forest roads, firebreaks and other small open areas.

Area harvested refers to the area from which a crop is gathered. Looking at the GDP figures GDP Forecast by Country | Statistics from IMF | 2021-2025. Asia is by far the main producing region, accounting for 62 percent of the global production in 2019, followed by the Americas (21 percent), Europe (13 percent), Africa (4 percent) and Oceania (0.4 percent). It is an aggregate comprising mechanical wood pulp, semi-chemical wood pulp, chemical wood pulp and dissolving wood pulp. Yet, agriculture remains the second largest source of employment worldwide after the services sector.6 A decline in the share of the agricultural sector is usually linked to growing income levels, which explains the drop in the share of employment in agriculture across all regions and nearly all the countries (see TABLE 9). In the last three decades, aquaculture has been the main driver of the increase in fisheries and aquaculture production, with an average growth of 5.2 percent per year in the period 20002019, reaching a record 85.3 million tonnes in 2019.
